Presentation by well known Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) entrepreneur, consultant, and blogger will discuss PLM and new manufacturing in a networked world.
ANN ARBOR, Michigan, 1 September 2015—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm announces that PLM industry forward thinker, Oleg Shilovitsky, will make a presentation at CIMdata’s workshop on the New Age of Collaboration, Innovation, and Product Development. The workshop will take place in Louisville, Kentucky on October 7-8. In addition to Mr. Shilovitsky’s presentation, the workshop will feature presentations by FirstBuild, Local Motors, and BASF Corporation.
The dependence on networks in our lives is growing every day and is not just limited to communication. Mr. Shilovitsky’s presentation, “PLM and New Manufacturing in a Networked World,” will consider the transformative influence that networks are having on the way we live, work, and conduct business. Increasingly manufacturing companies are leveraging market, design, engineering, and facilities located around the globe. The networking paradigm will apply to manufacturing companies and will be transformative. The growing specialization in specific manufacturing verticals will create a new type of manufacturing company, one that is capable of leveraging networks, allowing them to optimize performance, improve collaboration, and reduce cost. Intelligent PLM software with a networked mind can provide a competitive power to future manufacturing.
The workshop will start during the afternoon of October 7 and will end on October 8. A personal tour of First Build’s Microfactory followed by a networking dinner will be part of the first afternoon’s highlights. Throughout the workshop real-world examples of how mature companies are inventing and adopting new collaborative partnership models for innovation and joint value creation will be shared.
